Looks like you may need to replace the CMOS battery (the yellow battery underneath your system battery). You can find them on Ebay.

have you looked at the hardware maintenance manual for trouble shooting this problem..

also are you SURE the new CMOS battery is good OR that the old one was bad..
knowing those answers will be very helpful..

Yeah, I agree with Bill. There have been times when I changed the CMOS battery, and the time wouldn't keep. It turned out that I threw away the wrong battery....fortunately, trash day hadn't come yet, and it was still in the can. (Boy, I'm glad that I don't throw garbage in my office trash can)
